Carolina @ Tampa Bay
Carolina is 3-3 and they’ve won three of their last four games and won the last two in a row. They are definitely hot right now and they’re looking to become relevant in the NFC playoff chase. Tampa Bay is 0-6 with a struggling rookie QB and they’re starting RB Doug Martin is out with a shoulder injury. Carolina wins.
